In some Of our largest cities outside II
New York. Boston. for instance, women
have served successfully on school
boards. When was travelling through
the Western States lcmuring some time
ago almost invariably found that
where women had Il voice in the man
agcment Of educational affairs the
schools were doing better work, and
We're in Il more satisfactory condition
than where women Were en-
cluded from school boards,
where the same general conditions pre-
vailed in both cases The custom Is
more widespread i'll England than it is
here, l believe and has worked sue
cessfully in London for wears. In
Leeds, Mrs. Talbot, friend of mine
and an cStimable woman, has been ey-
tremcly useful and successful in that
position. She has always been first to
advocate good measures and wise in
novatonS, and in many instances she
has carried them, too.
Another reason for my opinion is
that women have aS deep an interest
in educational matter, as men have,
and, think, a deeper. A large ma
jority of our public school teachers are
women, and full ly one-half of our pu-
pills are girls. Hence. questions are
constantly arising which only woman
can fully understand and be in sympa-
thy with. There can be no doubt. l
think, of the fairness of having these
interests represented by two or more,
if possible, capable and inteIli-
gent women. There is perhaps,
in our schools tendency to
force too much study on the
children, and to allow precociouS and
overambitiols children to injlrc them
selves by too close application. No
better remedy for this evil if it exists,
can be found than by placing woman 5
intuition and sympathy where it can be
of use. A third reason for my opinion
is that women are not likely as yet to
regard the position rs a mere stepping
stone to some hi cher office. Nor would
she be disposed, | think to countcnance
any sale of the powers invested i'll the
board for her own emolumrnt. This

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
Courageous Visitors Who Arc Not Afraid
of II Tough Climb.

of Il Tough Climb.
The passenger elevator Of the Wash
ington Monument is in position. and
will be in readiness to carry passengers $
to the decentralization level when
Congress shall authorize such use to be-
made Of it. It will be some time vet
before the monument is entirely COM
pleted. In the meantime the monu-
mcnt is still open to the public, who are
still permitted to work their passage to
the top afoot, and they will probably be
accorded this privilege until Congress
makes some provision for running the
elevator for their convenience.
Since the 1st of April, when the iron
stairway that ascends to the shaft was
completed and visitors admitted. ten
thousand eight hundred passes have
been issued to applicants Of these.
two hundred were not used.
The ascent of the monument is quite
an undertaking. and many visitors who
have gone to the trouble to secure pass
es are content to examine it from the
ground after glance up the dark
shaft brings a realization of the task
before them. 1t takes generally about
an hour for persons who are not in II
hurry to make the round trip. This
gives twenty or twenty-five minutes for
fhn ,,,,n1n fippn fn nI,i,,- fhn
magnificent view from the windows at
the fve-hundred-foo level, and twenty
minutes to descend.
The quickest time that the ascent has
yet been made is ten minutes. When
it is considered that to accomplish the
task in that time it is necessary for the
climber to ascend at the rate of fifty
feet minute, or as fast as the freight
elevator used to ascend when the mon
ument was in course of construction,
it can be realized that this is very fast
time.
There are eight hundred and ninety
eight steps TO be assembled, without TAX
ing into consideration the many hori-
zontal steps on the ten platforms or
landings which form part Of the iron
stairway.
"Do many ladies 90 up?' repeated
Waterman Shea. "Well. / should say

RASID CATTLE.
How Farmers Should Act in Case Hydro
phobia Appears in the Country.

pioold appears III 'Ht N"uh'te'
There is a section in New York which
has been infested by rabid dogs. They
have made their runs chiefly by night,
have bitten many dogs and some cattle.
The bitten dogs were mostly killed at
once or kept chained for few days until
they manifested symptoms of illness OF
some kind. when they We're dispatched.
One poor man had seven cows. several
of which were bitten. Most of these
were giving milk. and Il good part Of
the mans living was by selling the
milk. A foolish panic seized his GUS
toners. and though the cows mani
tested no disease. the milk was refused
and the neighborhood foolishly insisted
Oh the slaughter Of the COWS. Of the
number only one, calf, showed any
symptoms of the disease. In other
cases, cows which were known to have
been. or suspected of having been. bit
ten 'went crazy and either died in
great agony OF were killed.
Now a COW can not bite another or \
person, and will not try to, and her
milk until she ceases to give any, will
not communicate the disease. nor any
disease to persons partaking of it. So
there is no special danger connected
with COWS having hydrophobia except
that they may in their agony hurt some
one with their horns. 1t is probable
that the saliva Of such an animal would
communicate the disease. but it would
be difficult for this inoculation to take
place. With horses il would be differ
ent, for they can bite easily, and do 50
willingly ut times. Still. they very
rarely have the disease. The chief
danger is, of course. from dogs and
cats. Those, if bitten. should be killed
at once. Ii is criminal to tcmporize
with them. Absolute security is tho
only safe treatment. In the case of 4
very valuable dog it may be well
enough to chain him W with very
strong tight collar and strong chain.
Then if he show symptoms of any un-
usual ailment he should be killed at
once. The easiest method is to use

PERNICIOUS LITERATURE.
What English and American Working
Girls and Boys Read.

What English and American Working
Girls and Boys Read.
That which the working class lads
read is generally of the lowest and most
vicious character; that which their
sisters read is in no way superior. The
boy takes in the penny dreadful; the
girl secures the penny novelette,, which
is equally deserving of the adjective.
Because the influence of these love and
murder concortions among girls is not
so apparent to the public eye as the
influence of the burglar and bushrang-
ing fiction among boys. 1t must not le
supposed that influence is less real. 1t
is. in fact. in many ways not only more
real, but more painful. Boys may
be driven to sea or to break into
houses by the stories they read; their
actions are at once recorded in the coli
umns of the daily papers With girls the
injury is more invidious and subtle. 1t
is almost exclusively domestic. We do
not often see an account of a girl COM
hitting any very serious fault through
her reading. But let us go into the
houses of the poor and try to discover
what is the effect on the maiden mind
of the trash which maidcns buy. If we
were to trace the matter to its source
we should probably find that the high
flown conceits and prctcnsions OF the
poorer girls of the period, their dislike
of manual work and love of freedom.
spring largely from notions imbibed in
the course of pcr,lsal of their penny
fictions. Their conduct toward their
friends, their parents, their husbands,
their employers, is colored by what
they then gather. They obtain distorted
views of life, and the bad influence OF
these works on themselves is handed
down to their children and scattered
broadcast throughout the family. There
is hardly magazine read by them
which it would not be moral benefit
to have swept off the face of the earth.
It would be well for philanthropists to
bear this fact in mind. There is wide
and splendid field for the display Of .
humanizing and elevating literature
among girls. Such literature ought
not to be beyond our reach. Girls can
hardly be much blamed for reading tho
hideous nonsense they do, when 10 lit
tie that is interesting and stirring in
plot, and bright and suggestive in char
acter, is to be had. Nineteenth Century.
